The murder of a conservative gun advocate in the United States is somewhat ironic. I used GPT to analyze the following: 1. The United States does indeed have the highest rate of gun homicides among developed countries. 2. The gun death rate remains far lower than that of illness, car accidents, and other factors. 3. There will be no major legal changes in the foreseeable future. 4. But ordinary people don't need to worry too much. Argument: The gun death rate in the United States is approximately 12–13 per 100,000 people, far higher than in non-gun-ban countries like Canada, Switzerland, and Northern Europe (where rates are generally 1–3), and dozens or even hundreds of times higher than in gun-ban countries like Japan and the United Kingdom. This means that among all developed countries, the United States is an outlier with the highest rates of gun violence and gun violence. Although the vast majority of Americans will never be directly involved in a gun attack, statistically speaking, the amount of gun violence endured by American society is unmatched by other developed countries, making it a focal point for global public opinion. While gun violence in the United States is frequent and highly publicized, it is not the leading cause of death overall. Approximately 40,000 people die each year from guns (mostly 60% by suicide), while the number of deaths in car accidents is even higher (approximately 40,000–50,000), and hundreds of thousands more die from heart disease and cancer. In other words, from a "personal probability" perspective, Americans are more likely to die from illness or traffic accidents than from gunfire. However, because shootings often occur in public places like schools, shopping malls, and concerts, they are highly random and socially shocking, and thus their impact and fear far exceed their actual statistical proportions. The United States is an outlier among developed countries with the highest rate of shootings due to its unique history and system: the Second Amendment to the Constitution sanctifies gun rights, resulting in a civilian stockpile of over 400 million firearms, making them difficult to recover. Furthermore, the federal system and partisan divisions make national gun control legislation virtually impossible. Furthermore, the United States suffers from severe racial tensions, wealth disparity, and a mental health crisis, while the media exaggerates the impact of every public shooting. These combined factors create a "special American identity" not found in other developed countries. Despite the frequent occurrence of shootings, the realities of the American legal environment make significant tightening of gun control nearly impossible. First, the Second Amendment to the Constitution guarantees citizens the right to bear arms, providing a solid legal foundation for gun rights. Second, under the US federal system, state laws vary widely, with some states implementing strict regulations while others allow nearly everyone to purchase guns freely. This, coupled with powerful lobbying groups like the National Rifle Association and partisan political strife, makes it difficult to advance strict national gun control legislation. Therefore, the US is more likely to continue with limited fixes (such as strengthening background checks or restricting some assault weapons) rather than adopting the strict gun control model of Europe and Japan. In other words, the US will long maintain its unique position as the country with the highest number of shootings among developed countries. Statistically, the risk of encountering a shooting in the US is extremely low, far lower than the risk of a car accident or food poisoning. Most tourist cities and middle-class communities offer good safety, so regular travel is not a cause for concern. However, compared to places like Japan and Europe, the US does present a higher level of uncertainty, so it's recommended to maintain basic safety awareness: avoid traveling alone to areas with low security late at night and pay attention to fire exits at large public events. In other words, while traveling to the US is generally safe, the psychological pressure may be greater than in other developed countries.
